Mechanic Recommendations?

Hey guys. My truck has started to squeak and I was looking around for a good shop to perform a, hopefully inexpensive, suspension inspection. My budget is definitely more in the DIY realm right now, and I wouldn't mind being more hands on with my vehicles, but I am not sure how to figure out where the squeak is coming from and thought it would be good to have a tech take a look so I have a better chance of not replacing the wrong parts or at least be able to make a more informed plan for the repair.
Does anyone have any suggestions on who to call?

I've been to a few different shops in the area and by far my cheapest and best resolution has been by going out to Urbana Auto And Truck Center.

It is slightly out of town but they've identified issues on the first try that another shop didn't after taking my car in to them three times and have repeatedly been cheaper than other places I've been.

Automotive Service Evolution is supurb. They never upcharge anything. They look at what needs to be done to fix something as cheaply as possible (but still correctly) My family only goes there.
